Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)

Restoring a healthier sleep pattern

When sleep becomes unpredictable, it can begin to affect every part of your life - your mood, concentration, relationships, health, and confidence in your ability to function each day.

Over time, sleep can become something you think about, plan for, and worry over - creating a cycle of effort and frustration. Trying harder to sleep only to feel further from it.

You may find yourself lying awake, struggling to fall asleep, waking frequently during the night, or waking too early and unable to return to sleep. Nights can feel unpredictable, and bedtime may come with frustration, pressure or dread.

How I can help

I provide CBT-I therapy for adults in Maine and PSYPACT states via secure telehealth.

CBT-I is recommended as the first-line treatment for chronic insomnia and often more effective long-term than relying on sleep medicine alone. CBT-I helps you:

  • retrain the body’s sleep-wake system

  • reduce behaviors that unintentionally maintain insomnia

  • shift thoughts and worry about sleep

  • build a more consistent and sustainable sleep pattern

What treatment looks like

CBT-I is a short-term, structured, and highly effective process. In our work together, we typically focus on:

  • understanding your current sleep patterns

  • identifying factors that are interfering with sleep

  • making gradual, strategic behavioral adjustments

  • reducing sleep-related anxiety

  • strengthening your body’s natural sleep drive over time

What changes over time

As sleep begins to improve, many people notice:

  • falling asleep becomes easier

  • fewer nighttime awakenings

  • improved concentration and productivity

  • more stable energy during the day

  • a greater sense of ease in daily life

  • improved mood during the day

Many people come to CBT-I after months or years of struggling with chronic insomnia. Effective insomnia treatment can help you develop a healthier relationship with sleep and regain confidence in your body’s ability to rest.
